, et cetera, et cetera. this wing of the soviet democratic party has not held the idea in high esteem that would be a great idea, a necessary idea, in fact, for us to meet the famous 2% goal that nato decided to define security go in 2014. spending 2% of gdp for defense. so yes, we have political forces even within our current governing coalition that are not really in favor of moving in this direction. but, here comes the big butt. as you know we have elections coming up next september, and the likelihood is that we will not in that with the exact same kind of government coalition. there is some likelihood that the next coalition government in germany with include the cdu, angela merkel is party, because it has maintained its status as the single biggest political force in germany. but the green party, the green party has risen over the years and is now de facto number two in the hierarchy of political forces. so there is some likelihood, i'm not trying to predict the outcome, but there is at least a seriou

starting arms-control discussions with the russians et cetera. there's enormous opportunities waiting to be seized and the couple will coming months. >> that reflects the thinking here also that early on in the new administration there would be an effort to harvest some of that low hanging fruit. one problem that i do see what sort of u.s. european relationships and maybe it is a larger problem is when european countries meet and the prime ministers sign agreements, those are seen to have a kind of illegal force that intergovernmental agreements are binding on successors and so on. in the u.s. constitutional system, there really is no way that a president can unilaterally legally find the united states to anything really and only the treaty ratification process can require the successors to follow that. so, we saw in the climate accord what that could mean when you have presidents with different points of view succeeding each other. how does one from the standpoint of the american partners who must now go into any negotiation in the biden adminis

et cetera. but we should try to signal to russia pressure at some point in the future recognizes western borders are the safest because not one need a member harbors any against russia. we will not attack russia. to be available as technology at one --dash this partners to russia. so at some point in the future wishes leadership would realize again that in favor of a less confrontational leadership with western europe , but again we have seen very little willingness for the russian government in recent years to tango with us so my thought is a practicing diplomat is to rate one - - wait for the right moment so we will just have to keep the door open, but at the same time, we need to do everything in order that will be valuable to extortion or military pressure to my earlier point, that is why we definitely need strong and credible a relationship with the united states. and nobody understands this better and former senator joe biden and with that anniversary the message with the munich security c

you are asking about unity, 51 voteses bipartisan, et cetera -- votes, bipartisan, et cetera. the other thing that gives me hope that we are not only going to sort of stay away from the ad hominem attacks on one another is that there is an overwhelming consensus among the major economists at home and in the world that the way to avoid a deeper, deeper, deeper recession moving in the direction of losing our competitive capacity is to spend money now, from across the board every major institution has said if we don't invest now, we are going to lose so much altitude in terms of employment base and economic growth it will be harder to reestablish it. we can afford to do it now. as a matter of fact, i think the response has been we cannot afford not to invest now. we cannot afford to fail to invest now. i think there's a growing relation of that on the -- realization on the part of all with you some very hard edge partisan maybe on both sides. i think there's a growing consensus, whether we get it done the way i want remains to be seen but i'm confident that we can work our way th

so -- energy, waters, et cetera.don't know if i could say that there is a huge distinction in terms of performance. there are certain categories like leed-nd tends to get into the materials and the quality. green-point rated gets into the construction techniques and things like verifying dry materials and avoiding mold and some of the health-type things. a little more customized in a residential context. but it's a very good question because obviously people are constantly choosing between one or the other. >> i think the point is that we also have to look at the building. and i see that kevin is on as well, but, bob, maybe at a future meeting, we would like to have a report on the buildings which are being built, or being planned to be built on treasure island and yerba buena. how do they compare to the leed-nd standards? i know the city has some measures that they require, but i think having information as to how the buildings are being built, that would be helpful to us. the more that we can make these buildings s

asking about unity. 51 votes, bipartisan, et cetera. the other piece of this is, the one thing that gives me hope that we're not only going to sort of stay away from the attacks on one another, is that there is an overwhelming consensus among the major economists at home and in the world that the way the avoid a deeper, deeper, deeper recession moving in the direction of losing our competitive capacity is to spend money now from a kro -- across the board. if we don't invest now, we're going to lose so much altitude in terms of our employment base and our economic growth, it's growing to be harder to re-establish it. we can afford to do it now. the reresponse has been, we can't afford not to invest now. we can't afford to fail to invest now. i think there's a growing realization of that on the part of all but some very, very hard-edged partisans on both sides. i think there's a growing consensus whether we get it done the way i want to remains to be seen. i'm confident we can work our way through, we have to work our way through because

ems, cmt, doctor, nurse, et cetera and show proof of that at that facility. , enter next, the essential workers what i'm asking today as many essential workers police, fire, teachers, transit workers, as many of them as can use their own networks that would be great. , their own networks meaning either their employees can vaccinate that unit, police, ems, emt, fire department, fire department, transaction police, et cetera, teachers have a healthcare network, transit workers have a healthcare network. as many of them that can handle it themselves, great. otherwise we have the retail system, the retail system would be hospitals, will be pharmaci pharmacies, 5000 pharmacies in the state it's a way that you do a flu vaccine will be federally qualified health centers, urgent care centers, local health departments and when you get to the general population, it is easier because the main criteria is going to be your age, so your license would do it. there are many pieces of id that can actually document your age, again this is down the road but the retail system has been used in the past we'v

you're asking about unity, 51 votes, bipartisan, et cetera. the other piece of this is the one thing that gives me hope that we're not only going to sort of stay away from the ad homonym attacks on one another is that there is an overwhelming consensus among the major economists at home and in the world that the way to avoid a deeper, deeper, deeper recession moving in the direction of losing our competitive capacity is to spend money now, to, from across the board, every major institution has said if we don't invest now we're going to lose so much altitude in terms of our employment base and our economic growth that it is going to be harder to re-establish it. we can afford to do it now. as a matter of fact, i think the response has been, we can't afford not to invest now. we can't afford to fail to invest now. i think there is a growing realization of that on the part of all but some very, very hard-edged partisans maybe on both sides but i think there is a growing consensus. whether we get it all done exactly the way i want it remains to be

this is quite different from the ways underway that we treated newspapers, television stations, et cetera you have responsibility for 230, would you share how you think about that and what is going on. >> as you mentioned this has been embedded in section 230 of the communications act so the statement i made in october there has been a lot of debate about this particular provision within section 230 and other policy issues within 230 that we have not touched on at the fcc but the provision in allotted date and elected officials and the two branches of government and executive and the legislative branch and justice thomas in a recent case expressed the view with unity provision and what the appropriate scope of the provision should be so we said since were charged with looking at section 230 among other provision you enter communication act should we think about how to interpret that, that has been part of the debate in much larger debates out there, i think one thing for sure social media plays an increasing role in terms of the public square and debating political issues, i don't think i

you know, the department of agriculture, et cetera. we don't tend to do well in structuring government around things like space. i mean, nascar was designed to promote access, but it really wasn't-- it didn't have a full spectrum of responsibilities, to integrate space into the domestic landscape of responsibility, opportunities, et cetera. so we don't really have a good, clear, coherent policy to guide how we govern our investments in space. now, fcc is probably one of the premier agencies to deal with that because you deal with the spectrum issues. would you just share with us how-- as we're entering a new government that's going to take over some significant initiative of the trump administration on space. how-- what would be your key message about space from an fcc point of view? >> from my perspective, at least, i'm exceptionally bullish and space innovation and in particular u.s. space innovation. and i think that the fcc and other government agencies with equities on this issue should definitely work together to encourage, to ke

in terms of precision with which this goes. 51 votes, bipartisan, et cetera. the other piece of this is that the one thing that gives me hope that we're not only going to sort of stay away from the attacks on one another is that there is an overwhelming consensus among the major economists at home and in the world that at the way to avoid a deeper, deeper, deeper recession, moving in the direction of losing our competitive capacity, is to spend money now, from across the board. every major institution has said if we don't invest now, we're going to lose so much altitude in terms of our employment base and our economic growth. it's going to be harder to re-establish it. we can afford to do it now. matter of fact, i think the response has been, we can't afford not to invest now. we can't afford to fail to invest now. i think there's a growing realization of that on the part of all but some very hard-edge partisans, maybe on both sides. whether we get it done exactly the way i want it remains to be seen. i'm confident we can work our way through. we have to work

have turned the corner during the last summer and are starting to grow, to acquire other companies, et cetera so i think you will see the startups be the job creation for this country's future, and i hope whether it literally goes back to the regulation that you talked about earlier today, people take into consideration what does it mean to startups, not just the big companies >> good morning, john, good to see you. i want to talk about china because president biden is in a really interesting position there with the amount of pressure and the amount of seeming arbitrariness with which president trump approached china. what would you advise the biden administration to do when it comes to tariffs, when it comes to access to technology, when it comes to even pressure on social issues in china? >> well, i think our country's values are more important now than ever. as you know, i've been in china for 35 years did the first high-tech joint adventure in china, and it was a win-win mentality with tough negotiations the last decade has developed into win-lose, jon, and china was not playing on a leve

do you think there is room for amazon, for -- sorry, for microsoft, for google, for oracle, et cetera really chase down the scale of an amazon or is the opportunity more with the technology companies, the software companies that are operating across platforms and don't really care whose infrastructure cloud it is. >> just looking at the numbers, the market is consolidating, not proliferating. the big three are getting bigger in terms of their total share of the market and you can just see that from the numbers. it's even difficult for the number three to actually gain meaningful progress, so the growth rates are not higher than the number one or number two so that's, you know, i think we're sort of getting into a situation where that dynamic is going to be difficult to upset the more established the environments get, the whole ecosystems build around it once people are in there, they're not going to say let's go somewhere else. those are going to become multidecade positions and plays. obviously, what people like we're trying to do is really try to, you know, allow people to not have

and they want today sort of bring revolution, et cetera, et cetera. they were in the face of traditional values that people were feeling threatened by. the other part of that is in the south, if you look at my mother's family from east arkansas, three of her seven siblings died of childhood disease. she never got past elementary school. and there was never a recognition that post civil war south was shared hierarchy of we them, as i wrote about in my book. in 1936, when my mom's dad died, there were 1.8 million sharecroppers in the south and 1.2 million of them were white, so there was this feeling among these other cultural groups and also the groups that ended up in -- on the -- as david writes in his book, just on the cusp of going downhill in terms of their future working in new york city, there was sort of a resentment and a concern about how fundamental american values were being overlooked by the democratic party. you can see this in the vietnam age group, the vietnam war age group who was called to go and who was able to not have to go because

it's not as much about technology as it is social responsibility, social design, et cetera.is the sec is the right venue? is that the arbiter how we will really handle section 230? >> that's a good question the general counsel for what's publicly available in his view it's a legal issue the fcc does have the competence to address. section 230 as part of the communications act under section two oh one with the supreme court cases like the iowa utilities board said the sec does have the authority to interpret various provisions. is more of a legal issue than a technical issue. >> there were many different factors of it we will see where it goes. >> this is one of the issues that is so large, you will be the technical agents but you are not likely going to be the vehicle for resolution like a policy like this. this is how america thinks about things. it is a fascinating question. about your presentation was terrific talking about the national security focus of the fcc am glad you did. i thought that was really important. the question that i put you , is the fcc culture regulato

and they wanted to bring revolution et cetera et cetera but it was traditional values that were threatened by. in the other part of that is my mother's family froms east arkansas three of the seven siblings died the dad died of disease at ten years old never got past elementary school and there was never a recognition that the poverty in the south civilin war were shared by white and black a light. and there were sharecroppers in the south and over 1 million were white. and those that david writes in the book just on the cusp of the future working in new york city. of how fundamental american values to be overlooked by the democratic party. you can see that in the vietnam t age group and who was not able to go because of student deferments we lost 103,000 killed or wounded in vietnam in the marine corps higher number killed in action in world war ii than total killed. those that served in david writes about this of the communities where people live or law w enforcement and going to vietnam. there was a beginning of a polarization between different cultural groups in america that came out i

we need to renovate our buildings, our cars, et cetera, et cetera. this is the first pillar and it is essential. the second pillar is about bringing with us the finance industry and private companies, the private sector. this circles back to what we're saying. i really believe in the initiative that we've set up with the one-planet summit with wealth funds, asset managers and private equity players. so on december 12th of last year, we had a virtual meeting with all of these partners and we've managed to bring under one same heading, if you will, one same project the climate financial disclosure task force. this is a really -- investors have committed themselves to methodology which what you were talking about and which we are now applies at company level. on december 12th last we managed to have the companies of the 40 in france adopt this new methodology. so they will have to prove to the markets, the capitol markets -- capital markets that they use this. i'm convinced that we'll only be able to state our climate commitments if we can bring on boar

, et cetera. america needs to get used to being called dirty names on social media and standing their ground. >> how do you push back? do you try and take on the arguments? what do you think is the best way to go? >> people that are truly under the influence of this way of thinking. there is no point in engaging. disengaged. there is no discussion possible. resorting to things that people like that require you to do or say. you can call me anything you want, you can put it on twitter, but i am going to do what i am doing. more people need to start doing it. you just say you can call me anything you want, it will not change my mind. until that becomes the norm, these people will run. keep on operating through a lane of terror where they are one of many at the table. they will not sit back down unless people stop telling them know you can call me what you want. we have to be able to watch them do it. you have to keep chomping your potatoes and hunker down for a couple weeks and move on. after a coup

et cetera with those traditional values were.he other part of that is if you look at the family and east arkansas three of seven siblings died of disease my mom's dad died of disease seven and she never got past the school there is a mission support was shared by white like with a hierarchy whites ofro. when my mom said sure so you 2 million white so there was a feeling among other cultural groups just on the going down hill of their future working in your is what is a resentment in word he looked at the democratic party in is age group and did not to go because as the marine corps we lost 103,000. tomorrow casualties for hire killed in action and to people who served and you write about this very well in our hearts riot one - - hardhat riot but in vietnam doing this blue-collar work there was a beginning of a polarization between those groups in america came out in more recent years i was talking about when i was in the senate with this movement we are not to americans, we are three americans. if you have a good school and educa

we need to renovate our buildings, our cars, et cetera, et cetera. so, this is the first pillar and it is essential. the second pillar is about bringing with us the industry and private companies, private sectors. this circles back to what we're saying. i really believe in the initiative we set up with the one planet summit with wealth funds and equity managers and private players, december 12th last year we had a virtual meeting with these partners and managed to bring under one head, if you will, one project the climate financial disclosure task force, the civil task force and this is really, this is a great step forward so we have a great-- investors are going to have have an investment methodology which is what you were talking about and which we're now applying at company level and on december 12th last we managed to have the companies of the cac 40 in france adopt this new methodology so they'll have to proof to the market, the capital markets that they comply with this criteria and the third pillar we need the same with biodiversity. i am conv

you know both as an a.d.d., depression, et cetera -- sometimes applying physical coldness to the head the great migraine sufferers, i'd say. >> thank you, thank you. >> you've worked with ice. >> i've worked with ice. hasn't done much with me but i reckon i would try that. >> seth: kate, was wellness something you were drawn to in your youth or is this sort of a new obsession? >> thank you for hearkening me back to my youth, seth >> seth: you're very welcome >> i have always been a hypochondriac. i've of course, i'm in recovery, as many hypochondriacs constantly are but when i was young, i would often call my mom at school, you know, "i'm having a heart attack, come get me. she made the mistake of coming to get me, right classically you child, "no, you they have to work through that on the hysteria, i would beg for years every christmas i would beg we for an mri. i just wanted the chance to see inside to see what i knew was going wrong. they didn't give me the mri, which i think ultimately was for the best but yeah, i've always been curious about, you know, what's lingering inside my

these are training sessions with documentation, powerpoint, recording et cetera. another thing that is happening and purposely for the "new york post" that showed in three institution since then, that number has gone up quite a bit. they're reinstituting race segregation in the workplace. they are saying are actually going to have separate training sessions for white employees and people of color. i think that it is both the anecdotal evidence when she get into the five, 600 level. i think can't really be dismissed as cherry picking or unrepresentative. i also think it a deeper points, unto professor kennedy's point he made earlier, it is amorphous because it rejects standards of empiricism, evidence, debate, et cetera great this is not my interpretation. if you actually look at the work for and i spent quite a bit of time at derek bell, richard delgado, sherrill harris et cetera break they explicitly, not implicitly reject enlightenment standards of rationality. they reject objectivity as a vestige is white system ologies. and they are deeply skeptical of the lib

have cabinet confirmations and looking for a much faster trail and with those documents recordings et cetera. we don't know that process will be we still have to work out exactly how long it will take. >> and then it will be likely see that tomorrow in the early phases of the trial and two weeks? >> yes we could and how they were proceed if there is a resolution that leader mcconnell would have agreed to more than. and then the opening proceedings normally they have to have the trial every day from here on out six days a week starting at new and so they have to have an agreement to extend into february 8 which is where mcconnell and schumer agreed with the basic timeframe in the meantime they can do confirmations may be virus relief package. host: there's already questions raised by patrick leahy was chosen to preside and not chief justice john roberts? >> wage. if trump is to the president john roberts under the constitution is supposed to be in the chair for a trial of the president. that's witnesses and the constitution will trump is no longer the president. he was. instead they have patr

china, rush, we saw it in 2016, disinformation, et cetera. they amplify existing u.s.isions and continue to do that to this day. but i wonder, right now are they more likely to sit back and let this country eat itself, in effect? >> so, the playbook for the russians in particular was never to generate their own controversy. they understand that america is not perfect. that we have our flaws and imperfections and they would amplify, drive wedges, black lives matter, take a knee, kaepernick, all of that, they really amplified and push those. so now what i suspect what they are doing in their proxies are doing is letting us eat our own. but really putting some additional fuel on the fire. but going back to my last point, on consequences and accountability and impeachment and holding others in congress responsible, you don't get a mulligan on insurrection. you don't get a one-time pass. we have to be forceful and clearly communicate to the world that this is unacceptable and there will be consequences. >> it is still an open question. frankly, sadly and remarkably. chris k

he wanted to support president trump's vision, et cetera, et cetera.when i pretty much asked him why did you lose, and the answer was that that district wanted someone who was going to be not so stayed, more of a bomb thrower, hopefully in a figurative sense. so we look at it from a distance and we say, my god, how could they have voted for her? they were actually looking for someone with her characteristics. what else came in? one more if i've got time. she was selected by the voters, the voters determine who represents them. case in point, egregious words by elected officials does not matter unless a clear unlawful act maybe. >> that's a word salad, too much for me to comprehend. it was wrong for all of those who voted for donald trump to be painted with one broad brush. i'm using the word only for her. she really is deplorable. thank you for watching. i'll see you next week. way for you to sell your car. whether it's a year old or a few years old. we wanna buy your car. so go to carvana and enter your license plate answer a few questions. and our te

at home there's lots and lots of distractions such as phones, et cetera.ldren could still learn if they're from the home but it's not as good as going to school. >> reporter: teachers tell me nothing can truly replace face-to-face learning, but they only want to return when it's safe, and they're critical of the government for not acting more decisively. the education regulator says she's weighting the health benefits of schools closing against the harm that can do to student well-being. >> there were real problems with motivation. there were real problems with younger children trying to learn through screens. we can see effects across the board. >> so if the u.k. lock down works and virus rates stabilize, will reopening schools undo that progress? research in the medical journal based on the last lockdown suggests not. it concludes that schools don't drive virus rates up. rather they reflect what's already happening in the community. >> when you look at the data, what you do see is that there are a lag in school age children compared to adults. so when ad

the peale's ran museums and et cetera and this is a portrait that is now in the white house.ee the glasses. latrobe was an architect who couldn't see very well. the glasses were very essential to his career. he -- it seems to me he is looking forward, just come to the united states, he is designed and built the famous bank, and he is looking forward to being an american. this idea of being an american became one of the themed i played -- themes i played with. when i first did this i thought that latrobe had been expel in a school and was a rebel. i thought that's what this guy is. but it turns out he was not a rebel, and i kept looking as i wrote the biography about what is the central theme of his life. and the search went on. let's see the next slide. as latrobe struggled to be an american and to play the role of a patriot, he did everything that one should do. he joined a militia company. he even wrote treatise on pocahontas and john wall. he tried to in many ways celebrate george washington by creating a possible monument for george washington. on the other hand there's a

some countries will mandate requiring vaccines to get on planes, et cetera.o wait and see. our goal on our end as the technology provider is to make sure we are part of the solution we have partnered -- you mentioned ibm -- we partnered with ibm for example, to provide that last mile what that means is, you know, you going in to get vaccinated and you are going to hop on blue sky airlines and blue sky requires to you show your vaccination status we do all the heavy lifting on the back end for blue sky airlines and ibm and you to be connected. you can store the information like you do your credit card on apple wallet, google pay and you can scan your qr code. for people who don't have phones you can print it out and go on with that qr code. for everyone else, we are going to work with the governments to see what's required, their solutions. >> doctor, thank you for joining us appreciate it. >>> happy to be here. >>> we have breaking news on leon black leslie picker has the story. >> leon black is stepping down from his role as ceo of apollo, the big private eq

own investigation into trump organization, possible fraud, et cetera.t is the time line on that in terms of when we might see something result from that investigation? >> reporter: well it is tied to the supreme court's decision here on the subpoena. because the d.a. has been investigating this since 2018. they first issued the subpoena to donald trump's accounting in september of 2019. it is been tied up in litigation for some 16 months. and while the d.a. has been interviewing people, collected documents, it is still needing the tax returns. and associated paperwork to determine whether a crime was committed. so as soon as they get the tark returns i think we'll see the investigation escalate. jim and poppy. >> we'll be watching. fight goes on. thanks very much. >>> well joe biden tells cnn that the impeachment trial, quote, has to happen but it is unlukely there 17 will convict. we're on top of it on capitol hill next. >>> good morning, top of the hour, i'm poppy harlow. >> and i'm jim sciutto. a busy knew week yet again. right now senators are conve

this doesn't make sense, et cetera, et cetera, so as a combination it's perfect whether it'll happent, you know, the stars have to align and all of that. whether or not it happens, mgm is going to be in the online business, it already is in the united states very significantly and it will be because it will invest to get there. all over the world it will become a leader in the next years, the combination of mgm resorts and their incredible footprint in resorts and gaming in the u.s., in mac caw, that footprint allows us to be unless we're utter dopes and i'm pretty sure that the manager at mgm is anything but is the ability -- >> barry, if that -- >> one line area as effectively as they've gotten into the hard asset area. >> if that particular deal does not go through, are there any other online gaming assets that you would be looking at or any other steps to increase your exposure to the online gaming space? >> yeah, there are opportunities all over the world there are existing companies there's the ability for us to go into any territory in the world and with our very solid balance

you mention the grants, the £25,000 et cetera, and all of these figures are bandied about all the time retailers, how easily are they getting hold of the money and how quickly? they have to apply to local authorities, it has always been authorities, it has always been a challenge getting the money in timely, a lot of locals worked hard to get the money there, we would need the money thereby the end of the month preferably, so it can be done, but normally we expected to be a month later so we don't expect it until february, and therefore the retailers have completed that gap, the gap that has occurred, and naturally, they were closed over the period so it is not just january, they have to make about what they lost in december as well as january. and the independent retailers, toa and the independent retailers, to a great degree they are smaller, therefore they are more able to quickly respond, would you argue, and the yann m'vila from that point of view. in many ways they are more innovative as well, which is a strength, isn't it? they are, and it has always been their resilience and ag

we have talked to a degree about the practical problems with this new relationship with europe, et ceteraers manufacturing and we have not got one which cove rs services and we have not got one which covers services yet, and that is half of uk export, 80% of uk gdp, so clearly still work to be done there. there is hope for a deal on services by the spring, for example, but then in the short—term, companies will be looking to get things out of warehouses they have not been shipping over the new year in case they turned up and running into a tariff and they will have to get used to customs declarations and supply chains so lots for companies to do in the short term and going forward , do in the short term and going forward, they will be looking forward, they will be looking for a services deal and as you have been hearing elsewhere in the show, looking for trade deals with other trading partners, india, america probably the biggest glittering prizes. the government has said it will be difficult for the next couple of weeks. things will be hard as we try to figure out how this all works goin

be looking for a much faster trial and based on the publicly available documents and recordings et cetera, so we still don't know exactly what the process is going to be and what the rules will be. >> will we see for example as they get underway tomorrow and swearing in the senators as the jurors for this trial, rand paul said earlier this evening about possibly trying to raise a motion against even proceeding. will we see that tomorrow or the early phases of the trial in two weeks? >> i think we could see some of that tomorrow. it's not entirely clear how it is going to proceed and whether it will be a resolution they will have agreed to by then sort of setting the parameters for the trial and whether there will be in agreement on the opening the proceedings. they have to have an agreement to extend to february 8th, which is what mcconnell and schumer agreed on that basic timeframe and in the meantime they can do cabinet confirmations and may be some kind of a virus relief interim package. >> already on the republican side there are questions about why patrick lahey was to preside and no

they're trying to convince us they had to get rid of them because they were et cetera. so yes the process was really hard because first of all had my own questions i had my own doubts. who are those guys? they show me their own as readers. but okay, they are reading when i am talking to them. but what are they doing besides? are they taking weapons? are they using the same kind of violence and torture the regime is using? because we have to be realistic like some people among the dissidents started becoming extremist at well. it was a big challenge in terms of fact checking. whenever they would send me pictures, video, i had to double check through all the sources, all of the connections. i had to reach out to syrians as well as friends of theirs, family members, and another challenge was the very fragile theory then link we managed to create through the internet because sometimes, they would not have electricity for weeks. i would lose touch with them. i would have to wait until they reappear to people asking them questions to keep on insisting on seeing as many guys a

the president has had enormous successes with the economy, with operation warp speed, et cetera. how could he have done 12 million more votes than barack obama? that's really the overall question in most people's minds again the people out of the weeds unlike yourself. you can understand those questions, right? >> oh, i do. in fact in biden's case perhaps maybe less is more. the better he didn't say things to get himself in hot water maybe that was the best thing to do was hide in this basement but here is the facts. 20,000 republican voters traditional republican voters just skip the presidential race. senator david perdue got 19,000 more votes in the metro region than president trump did, and in our republican congressional areas, they got 33,000 more votes than president trump did, and so that's really what happened is that republicans, probably many be the more moderate republicans, just stayed away from that race or voted for the other side, but i voted for president trump, so did my wife. we contributed to his campaigns and we just have to accept the facts of what happened

to heavily regulate many things it is vulnerable in that respect and could -- treasury department et ceterahink is most interesting about the fact that bitcoin is down in many ways it protects itself against a biden administration saying this is out of control, et cetera and wanting to regulate. the fact it didn't get too, it is not getting overly heated may end up preserving bitcoin's legitimacy. charles: 10-year period return on average annualized 200% a year. so you know, this pullback notwithstanding it had one hell of a run but i think it would be crazy for biden administration or any government to attack it simply because it is hot in an effort to derail it. another criticism has been about the ability of actually use it as a currency. there was big news today at the intercontinental exchange, digital asset marketplace will actually go public through a spac. of course we know it has been a banner year for spacs and bitcoins. you merge those two together but the thing is you will have a digital way of spending this digital currency. more and more of these sort of options are opening up

intercontinental, or international aircraft could only have 66 people on, and they have been separated, et cetera unless you are not one of the players from these flights who have a covid positive test on them, and if you are in the unfortunate position, you are allowed to leave your room for five hours each day for practice or training, and only move between the bubble of the hotel and the tournament site. so the bubble of the hotel and the tournament site.— tournament site. so not a normal — tournament site. so not a normal builder _ tournament site. so not a normal builder for- tournament site. so not a normal builder for the - tournament site. so not a - normal builder for the players. have there been any complaints from them?— have there been any complaints from them? . ., , from them? yeah there have been some complaints _ from them? yeah there have been some complaints as _ from them? yeah there have been some complaints as would - from them? yeah there have been some complaints as would be - some complaints as would be expected, after all they are international tennis players, and they ar

that the intake of 1,270 people related to the australian open, players and their support crews, et ceterad i think it has been blurred in a lot of areas of the media so that the whole picture has not been explained properly, and i can understand the frustrations that a lot of people, australians wanting to come back, whether it is in the uk or france or the united states or wherever, they are feeling that frustration, that we are australians and we cannot get in. it�*s a different situation altogether, and i think a lot of this responsibility also lies with the individual states. new south wales, where i am, has been carrying the load on this intake of australians returning, whereas places like queensland, victoria, western australia, certainly have not been picking up things as much as new south wales, and as a result, that has also been restricting the number of people that can come back into the country. and in a couple of seconds, when does the actual tournament start, when does the tennis start being played? the australian open will begin on the 8th of february, three weeks later tha

terrorists and was trying to convince us he had to get rid of them because they were jihadists, et cetera. so yes, the process was really hard. because, first of all, i had my own questions. i have my own doubts. i mean, what about come who are those guys? they show me their own -- as readers, but okay, they are reading when i am talking to but what about, what are they doing besides? are they fighting? are they taking weapons? are the using the same kind of violence and torture as the regime is using? because we have to be realistic, like some people among the dissidents of bashar al-assad started becoming extremists as well. it was a big challenge in terms of fact checking. whenever there was in the pictures, video, i had to double check through all the sources or the connections. i had to reach out to syrians in exile as well, friends of theirs, family members. and another challenge was that very fragile, very thin link we managed to create to the internet. because sometimes they would have electricity at all for weeks. so i would lose touch with them. i would have to wait until they r

and then you have a dirty right that's willing to traffic in violence and lies, et cetera, et cetera, and people who were conservatives and republicans need to make a choice. you can't be -- have one foot in one camp, one in the other and hop back and forth like it's a game of double dutch. we are in a real crisis now and you have to figure out what kind of conservative are you really and take a stand and snuff out what you just saw because that thing you saw out there last night could grow in this country regardless of what trump does and trump himself could do worse than he's done. so we are not off the hook yet and we are not going to be off the hook until joe biden is president. >> andy mccabe, obviously there was a huge security breach. will there be justice now? there's videotape. we can see the faces of these people. this is still president trump's justice department for the next 13 days. will these people be arrested that we're seeing on camera? what will the fbi do? >> well, there absolutely should be. there are three matters that should be vigorously investigated beginning t

, et cetera. this was sad to say theoretically imaginable, that it is actually playing out as the thing that shocks us so much. that we never thought it would actually come to this, but it is consistent with rhetoric set in motion by the president and not manifestly rejected at the beginning by republicans who were in in a place to do so. -- >> and the president too in terms of inciting and keeping these embers of angst burning has now erupted in the united states capitol. what culpability do some of the lawmakers have who also objected to that, we will put, major you were going to say? >> i will read a tweet from the president one minute ago. >> quote i am asking everyone at the u.s. capitol to remain peaceful, period, no violence, exclamation point, remember we all in capitols, we are the party of law and order. respect the law and our great men and women in blue. thank you. >> >> o'donnell: and now president trying to real back in a mob that has been unleashed. >> trying to do what he should ha

and this is what happens to these people et cetera. to expose people in this country around the world of images of how school children and grandmothers being attacked by police dogs. what doctor king believed and what i believe about this too, is those types of things can trigger a narrative change for a person. and when enough people experience this at the same time it can create a cultural change. and when those two things happen they can inform if not in fact drive policy change. so i just want to say i know it is a semantic thing. but in the question of if this project were to become real, i think this israel because it is creating the occasion for people to start thinking about things and ways we have not thought about them before. which really comes down to the question of self empowerment. and if i could make this change what would it be? so many things have changed and societies around the world. when people start asking that question. >> beautiful thank you. so i want to open it up to some of our audience members here for q an

that you had mentioned and these grassroots communities and organizations, on the groundworkers, et cetera, scientists saying, we are not going to be resistant to grassroots movements, but we are going to collaborate and work with grassroots movements all across the united states to make sure that we are creating as many jobs and as much justice as possible as we fight to save our planet. >> you know, what strikes me as someone who has covered the issue for 14, 15 years at this point is that the politics seems to have changed a bit in terms of the defensiveness. i mean, there was still even saw it in some of the debates, divisiveness. if you look at the polling, it is not some issue that democrats are on the wrong side of 65/35 in the public polling. it just isn't. i felt like i saw that reflected today in terms of how the administration at least is messaging on it. >> yeah, i mean, climate has become a winning issue, and it's gone from being a debated issue to very squarely in the eyes of voters from iowa to new york city realizing that we need to mobilize right now to save our planet, to
